Nothing is known about Jilan al-Cygni's career prior to her actions on Harvest, although it was once observed by the AI [[Sif]] that, judging from al-Cygni's subtle accent, she was likely raised on the planet [[New Jerusalem]] in the [[Cygnus]] system. | Nothing is known about Jilan al-Cygni's career prior to her actions on Harvest, although it was once observed by the AI [[Sif]] that, judging from al-Cygni's subtle accent, she was likely raised on the planet [[New Jerusalem]] in the [[Cygnus]] system. | ||
In response to reports of attacks on [[DCS]] freighters in space nearby Harvest, ONI deployed al-Cygni undercover to the colony world to investigate and neutralize suspected Insurrectionist activity. Al-Cygni posed as a DCS middle-manager and arrived with the pretense of conducting an audit with the AI Sif for negligent maintenance of shipping vessels. After making contact with Governor [[Nils Thune]], she inducted Staff Sergeants Avery J. Johnson and Nolan Byrne into a space operation to lure Insurrectionists to a decoy freighter where they would be neutralized. To the immense shock of the team, the fire-team (comprised of Johnson and Byrne) encountered not Insurrectionists, but hostile [[Jackal|alien creatures]]. Al-Cygni authorized Johnson and Byrne to eliminate them before destroying the alien vessel with an [[Archer Missile]] from her [[UNSC Walk of Shame|sloop]]. | In response to reports of attacks on [[DCS]] freighters in space nearby Harvest, ONI deployed al-Cygni undercover to the colony world to investigate and neutralize suspected Insurrectionist activity.

Later, after making contact with the [[Brute]] investigation team arriving with a formerly decommissioned [[Rapid Conversion|Cruiser]], she was one of the first humans to meet an official Covenant delegation. The negotiations soured, however, and the group was forced to escape. She coordinated a pending mass evacuation maneuver in the week following. She removed a visibly upset Governor [[Nils Thune]] from office by paralyzing him with [[Tactical Training Round]]s, and assumed command of the UNSC presence on Harvest, consisting of a mere three [[UNSC Marine|Marines]] and a platoon of [[Colonial Militia of Harvest|Colonial Militiamen]]. | Later, after making contact with the [[Brute]] investigation team arriving with a formerly decommissioned [[Rapid Conversion|Cruiser]], she was one of the first humans to meet an official Covenant delegation.

After many risky and difficult plans, one of which her [[Ponder|second in command]] volunteered to create a diversion at the cost of his own life, al-Cygni successfully escaped with Johnson, Byrne, and a handful of to-be-Marines and civilians. She and [[Avery Johnson]] entered into a relationship. It is unknown if the two remained together for any time, and if they had any contact with each other ever again. | After many risky and difficult plans, in one of which her [[Ponder|second in command]] volunteered to create a diversion at the cost of his own life, al-Cygni successfully escaped with Johnson, Byrne, and a handful of to-be-Marines and civilians.
